The Capital of Rosa

Giovanni Zoccatelli (1866–1892) is a painter endowed with a noticeable realist vein, which he develops within a landscape and rural curren close to the manner of Giacomo Favretto and Napoleone Nani. His attention to reality and popular sentiment is evident in the 1891 painting "The Capital of Rosa", where the female figure merges with the countryside, rendering an image of intimate rural everyday life.
